SS2 subtitles

[665bbedd9a35avoodoo47]

SS2Tool, which already manages enabling subtitle support.

the question is this bit;

Code: [Select]

subtitles_hide_types nonverbal
subtitles_dim 20 80 86
subtitles_font_dir fonts\
subtitles_font_name mainaa
subtitles_spacing 1
;subtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
subtitles_show_descr
subtitles_max_dist_bark 50should it be included in the cam_ext distributed by the tool or is it something optional?

I'm not perfectly sure (am at work) but I think that is already included.

should it be included in the cam_ext distributed by the tool or is it something optional?

If you select the subtitles option in the SS2Tool, that part is written to cam_ext.

right, it actually is there. ok, nothing to see here then.

seems like the custom email texts in FMs are being skipped, and the text from vanilla strings is displayed instead.

There are FMs that include subtitles?

[665bbedd9ad1dvoodoo47]

yeeah for some reason I was thinking the mod actually reads the strings (it does not). anyway, as far as vemails are concerned, it would be useful if it actually did, I think.

[665bbedd9ae46ZylonBane]

Yeah no, there's no custom scripting going on. Subtitling just runs off data files. It's entirely an internal engine function-- no way to involve scripts in the process.

I'm assuming the issue you're seeing is with FMs that override the original email WAV filenames. That is indeed a problem. I can't think of any solution for it either, short of advising people to disable subtitles entirely when running FMs.

disabling the vemail part should do, I think.
